-two punch, the weather channel's jim cantore joins us now from bermuda as residents prepare for the arrival of igor. jim? >> reporter: yeah, the premiere has set the tone in calling this what is going to be one of the worst hurricanes to ever affect the island. it's going to be a long duration event. look at the satellite picture here. if we were to take this cloud shield and stick it on a map of the united states, it would pretty much stretch from green bay, wisconsin, all the way down to miami. that's huge. so that means bermuda is going to endure tropical storm and hurricane force winds anywhere from 24 to 36 hours, which is a tremendous long time, probably about three to four times what would normally be the case here for a storm. so we're looking at winds even though they dropped down to 100 miles an hour today, enough, strong enough to do tree damage and also power line damage which is really what they're expecting here to be the main issue. a lot of tree and power line damage. 64,000 people are definitely ready to brace this thing. they were out today admiring mother nature's handiwo

here in this part of the outer banks mid-50s range. one clocked with jim cantore close to hurricane force strength and some say 74. but norah, this is the way you want the aftermath of a storm. not a lot to report. back up to you. >> yeah, ron. i understand north carolina officials say highway 12 which is on hatteras island that was closed through friday may reopen saturday so as you said looks like they have dodged the bullet and that's good news. >> reporter: good news, indeed. in fact, a lot of folks who have left to go to shelters, residents and tourists alike, are able to come back that evacuation order lifted today and we should see the beachgoers coming back and jersey shore should be great this weekend in terms of weather. norah? >> good to hear. ron moot, thanks so much. happy labor day to you, as well. i'm joined by meteorologist big bill karins. all right, bill. who if anyone will see damage from the storm? it looks like as ron said just some heavy winds but otherwise everybody's pretty safe. >> nothing significant. still could see minor damage with the friends in nova sc

. this is the better scenario we had expected. now 50 miles to the south, jim cantore is in cape hatteras. jim, how is it down there? >> reporter: it's rough down here, too, matt. we've had about eight straight hours of sustained tropical force winds, gust at 78 miles an hour. our winds are out of the north, right up across highway 12 here. you can actually see it here. hatteras ferry landing and at times you get the oversplash. as the winds die down, we'll see this debris. we don't know how much of highway 12 is covered with water. we made an attempt to get out to get some pictures before the sun came up but we couldn't get very far at all, maybe a couple of hundred yards but that was about it before we ran into water that was coming up to our tire, so we obviously turned back. the situation here should improve until the water recedes. we didn't lose power during the entire event and may, for many of the business owners and people who had vacation plans here this weekend, salvage part of the weekend if it's not that bad and there is no breach. vacationers may get back in here tomorrow. back to you
